☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Find the Pin and Pick It Up" introduces a curious alien scout from an underground civilization sent to assess the surface world’s vulnerabilities—only to find that humans aren’t afraid of his fearsome appearance. Ed Winiarski handles both pencils and inks for the story, delivering a distinctive early Marvel look, while Bill Everett’s cover art captures the eerie, otherworldly tone with his signature dynamic style. A 10-cent comic from 1952, it’s a standout in the weird tales anthology series.
In "The Monster!" from *Adventures into Weird Worlds* #12 (1952), a towering being from a hidden underground society ventures to the surface with a mission: to find fear in humanity. But when he meets Jo and others, their calm indifference leaves him bewildered—his monstrous form means nothing to them.
